We have featured plenty of Pokemon Go cheats, though some of them won’t work any longer – the Pokemon mapping feature to be more specific. That said, Bloomberg collected a few interesting hacks every user can probably take advantage of.
The Poke Ball Thrower, seen in the following image, is a contraption made of a cardboard box and sticky notes to help you launch Pokeballs to perfection.

The Pokemon Egg Incubator is a trick the helps you pretend like you’re walking, and it’s required to fool the game into thinking you’re actually out and about. All you have to do is strap the phone to a ceiling fan, and your eggs will hatch.
The Battery Pack Pokedex is a do-it-yourself smartphone case the includes an external battery case. You can build it yourself, but if you’re really lazy, just pick an external battery and put it in your pocket.
